Business Letter

10-7-14

Over the
14 years of my life, I have lived 10 of them with a liver transplant.The other 4 years before the transplant
weren’t so great, because it was then that I was sick with Maple Syrup Urine
Disease.I have said thank you many
times over the years after the transplant and took each day as a gift and a
blessing.However, I never formally
thanked you all for taking my mom’s seemingly impossible request back
then.For if you hadn’t, I would not be enjoying
the life I have.I told myself that
someday I would formally thank you for what you did, but I never got around to
it.I wanted to change that, so I wrote
this to you in order to complete my long time goal.My name is Jakob Stapleton Jasin, aka
JJ.I’m almost 15 and my parents are
Chris and Susan Jasin, and I have awonderful sister named
Alyna, who is adopted, as well as a beautiful dog named Bella.I just recently started my freshman year of
high school, and I am already part of the school’s cross country team and have
a wonderful group of friends.So far I
have straight A’s, and I’m taking all Honors classes.I could go further with what my life is like,
but the point is that all of this I just mentioned would not be possible for me
if you hadn’t taken the request that my mom made for something that hadn’t been
successful before: liver transplantation for a MSUD patient.I am proud of whom I am now and will become,
and I know my parents are proud of me, too.So, thank you for saving my life.I mean it and I owe you all so much for my gift.
